Anthony Weiner Badgered By Conservative Blogs in Weinergate,

​The strange saga of Weinergate, in which New York congressman Anthony Weiner may have accidentally tweeted publicly a photo of his erect (boxer-briefed) penis to a college student in Seattle, set off a frenzy over the holiday weekend. Weiner says he was hacked, the victim of a prank, and while that seemed unlikely at first to a rightfully cynical audience -- in light of his contemporaries like the Craigslist Congressman, compounded by the overuse of the "hacked" excuse for every online would-be scandal -- as the layers of this snafu started to pile on, it got much less clear instead of being elucidated, as these things tend to be after the initial lies from the guilty. It became a tale of the blood-thirsty conservative Internet press, perhaps too used to their kind getting caught up in sordid activity, against those observers becoming more doubtful, or otherwise just after the truth. And so as interesting as whether the pol did it or not is how it's been covered by the blogs in the ensuing days. As a result, we'll run down what we know now in Press Clips, our daily media column.
